No Customer Reviews
A chicks-to-eggs handbook for those who want to keep chickens as part of a sustainable lifestyle With the growing concern about factory farming practices and their impact on the planet, more people are choosing to bring the farm to the backyard by raising chickens and gathering eggs for mealtime-- and for fun. Newsweek declared that there's a "Craze for Urban Chicken Farming." Giving you and your family everything you need to raise chickens successfully--and organically-- The Backyard Chicken Bible shows how to choose the right breeds, order chicks, create housing in a small space, minimize maintenance, troubleshoot everything from manure to pecking order, and, above all, enjoy the abundant, incredible eggs in a variety of recipes. Keeping chickens involves a commitment of time and money, and Phillips's practical advice and steps allow a busy family to keep chicken-raising scaled to your skills, budget, and expectations. With lively topics like A Few Good Hens and Hens Behaving Badly, get a glimpse of the reality--and the rewards--of keeping chickens in the city or the suburbs.
